Dry dietetic food for adult and senior cats with chronic kidney disease: a special flavor profile with high palatability, low phosphorus content, and high energy density.
Uremic nausea and changes in smell and taste are common consequences of chronic kidney disease in cats. This often leads to prolonged food refusal, resulting in unintentional weight loss and muscle wasting.
Royal Canin Renal Special is designed with a specific shape, texture, and—above all—flavor profile to overcome food aversion. It offers a viable sensory alternative while maintaining the maximum effectiveness of renal clinical nutrition.
The formula protects kidney function thanks to a strictly controlled phosphorus level and the inclusion of Omega-3 (EPA and DHA).
The moderate protein content limits the formation of nitrogenous waste in the blood, while the high energy density ensures an adequate caloric intake even with reduced daily portions.
